President said that if Haddad had won the 2018 elections, the “robbery” during the pandemic would have been enormous
The president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said this Friday (19.Aug.2022) that his comfort, being in the Presidency of the Republic, is knowing that in the presidential chair “there is not a communist sitting”.
“What comforts me is knowing that in that presidential chair in Brasília there is not a communist sitting there. There is a person who defends the family, who is against drugs, is against gender ideology, is against abortion”said.
The statement was made during an interview with Bolsonaro on Minas Gerais radio. 98 Live. The president visited the capital Belo Horizonte to participate in the installation ceremony of the TRF-6 (Regional Federal Court of the 6th Region), in the Administrative City of Minas Gerais (headquarters of the state government).
The chief executive once again criticized left-wing Latin American governments, such as that of Colombia’s Gustavo Petro, whom Bolsonaro said was “close friend” of the former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (EN).
In addition, the president also said that if the then candidate Fernando Haddad (PT) had won the 2018 elections, the “robbery” would have been huge during the covid-19 pandemic.
“We are against what the other government did until recently”he said.
The president also attacked Brazilian federal universities and said that when he receives a triple list with the appointment of deans for the institutions, “doesn’t have a plus or minus”. He also said that the teachers were chosen by the PT (Workers’ Party).
Bolsonaro also criticized the teaching of humanities subjects, such as history, sociology and philosophy, in schools. “School is a place for a guy to learn chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, geography, and not stick with these human guidelines that, in fact, are not human, they are guidelines focused on ideological issues”.
Minas Gerais
The president took advantage of the interview to publicize his candidates for the government and the Senate for Minas Gerais, the candidates Carlos Viana (PL) and Cleitinho Azevedo (PSC).
In July, the chief executive met with the current governor of the state, Romeo Zema (New), but it didn’t receive concrete nods of support, so it hit the gavel on supporting Viana.
Bolsonaro declared that he did not close with Zema because the governor now has a candidate for the presidency. “The vice, every 3 words, two he hits me. I said ‘no conditions’”added Bolsonaro, who guaranteed to have a “good relationship” with the governor.
Minas Gerais is the 2nd largest electoral college in the country, with 16.2 million people eligible to vote this year. As it is home to 10% of the national electorate, the State is essential for anyone who wants to reach Palácio do Planalto.
